Men My Husband Says I Can Have Sex With (if the opportunity ever arose) In No Particular Order

3. Steve McQueen (Okay, he’s dead, but we’re just fantasizing here. And besides, he was the coolest guy in the universe.)

4. Robert Mitchum (Yeah, dead too, but those eyes were awesome.)

5. Kurt Russell (I can recite word-for-word nearly every line of the movie Tombstone.)

6. Jeff Bridges (The Dude rocks!)

7. Lyle Lovett (Yes, I know—funny hair. And he’s not especially handsome. But the man knows how to write and sing a good song. And he’s a gentleman. Besides, I think you’re required to adore him if you live in Texas.)

8. Richard Gere (Himself is a little ambivalent about this one. And I have to admit, I haven’t always been attracted. But, like Clooney, he’s just gotten better and better as the years go along.)

9. Tom Selleck (He has gotten a little pudgy these days, but in my mind, his looks and personality are classic.)

You’ll notice that this list is full of old (or even dead) guys. That’s because I’m a mature woman. I know there’s others of you out there who love romance. How does my list stack up to yours?

Good choices, every one of them. And we all have to have a list. You know, Steve McQueen’s grandson is on Vampire Diaries and he is HOT…so it must run in the family. Thanks for sharing Emily! (ggunselman@gmail.com)

Alan Rickman, a must for me. John Cleese, for his wit and kind eyes and pure length. Michael Praed, of BBC’s Robin of Sherwood fame, for sure. Jackie Chan, Vincent Cassel, Charles Dance, John Lone (The Last Emperor– ooooh)– that should do, for now. Oh, let’s not forget Aragorn!

Review Star Rating Definitions

1 Star – We currently do not review any story with a 1 star rating. If it’s DNF or a “wall-banger” we decline to review.

2 Stars — Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you’d re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library – not buy- and never check out again. You might recommend it to a friend with a mention of the glitches, knowing that something in the plot or story would still appeal to them regardless.

3 Stars — Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn’t consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There’s a chance you’ll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn’t go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars — Very Good. You’re glad you were the one who got to review the book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars — Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

LASR Best Book – For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you’re not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise – and reserved for only a few.
